Our 2021 Sta. Rita Hills Chardonnay, always a blend from both of our estate vineyards: the historic Sanford & Benedict Vineyard (10%) and La Rinconada (90%). These singular vineyards are in the heart of the cool and coastal Sta. Rita Hills appellation. A wide range of Chardonnay selections are planted on these sites, and this wine is a blend of 6 of these from several different soil types. Gorgeous aromas of chamomile, blown-out candles, and grilled lemon aromas inform the palate which is elegant, and wonderfully suave. The 2021 will pair better with lighter, simpler fare and is open, charming and delicious.

Juicy citrus, tart pineapple, and mint herb notes, as well as some classic background mineral and salty nuances, emerge from the 2022 Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills, a medium-bodied Chardonnay that's nicely balanced, has bright yet integrated acidity, and outstanding length. The appellation release comes 90% from La Rinconada and 10% from Sanford & Benedict, saw malolactic in barrel (as do all of these Chardonnays from Sanford), and 11 months in 25% new French oak. Drink bottles through 2032.

The 2022 Chardonnay (Sta. Rita Hills) is a fabulous appellation-level wine that shows how compelling the 2022 vintage can be. Apricot, yellow flowers, chamomile and light tropical accents all grace this tasty, inviting Chardonnay.

Composed predominantly of young vines from La Rinconada, the 2022 Chardonnay Sta. Rita Hills is a solid snapshot of Sanford's modern winemaking: pure, precise and balanced. The nose is driven by pretty, straightforward orchard fruit and breakfast cereal aromas, leading to a balanced, clean palate and a refreshing finish with accents of creamy richness.
